Diaper stash identity crisis.... - Diaper Chatter and Q & A

Anyone else have them???
I started out in pockets and then went to prefolds...now that I have DD I am finding myself reaching for my BGOS (the only pockets I didn't sell off from DS) all the time. I SOOOO want to have a whole stash of BGOS, but am feeling guilty.

BUT I can't....I have all the sized prefolds (GMD) and GN covers and it is all "paid" for (since DS used them...). Ugghhhh, maybe just a few pink BGOS to supplement my GN ones will "cure" me.

I've switched so many times.....but I rarely sell the old ones (unless they didn't fit) so I have about 2 dozen bg's, 50+ prefolds, approx 60 mutts and gms fitteds, and maybe 10 random diapers......and I just use whatever I feel like at the moment and it changes from day to day and week to week.

Me! With dd2, things were so simple ai2's (Sweet Baby Boutique). Then with ds, I started out with just Fuzzi Bunz (SBB were all VERY girly). But, then I started with fitteds and wool, and then pfs. With dd3, I wanted to just do pfs, a few super cute fitteds, and a few fuzzi bunz for dh. Now, I still love my pfs on most days, but on other days, I really wish I more "easy" diapers (BG and FB)!

it depends on how much you care about how much you are spending on cloth diapers

if you don't care, then go for it! if it is important to you to save as much money as possible, then try to find a way to be happy with what you have...I wish I could take my own advice!!! It wouldn't be a problem so much if I wasn't a total germophobe and didn't mind buying used! I've changed my stash around so many times I've bought and sold off 3 sets of fuzzibunz, 2 sets of BGOS, 3 different brands of prefolds, countless kinds of covers---it is insane and it drives me crazy that I can't just be content. My latest love--flats with pins and dappi covers, thirsties duos, and econobums for covers, and BGOS organics with a few BGOS 3.0s for DH. I am forcing myself to try to stick to the basics for the most part and stop with what I have....I think variety is great so you can change your mind without going through the cycle of selling and buying. Good luck!!

I've been buying different fitted diapers for a long time, and I can't get enough wool so I feel your pain

It's HARD to stop looking....and you all know what looking leads to!

Oh boy is my stash confused! I started with gdiapers with flushable inserts. Moved on to cloth inserts and then AIOs/AI2s. From there I learned my DD was sensitive to PUL so I went the fitted route with fleece. Then I met wool and fell in love! LOL Then I tried pf and found that they were trimmer than fitteds! Now I've moved onto contours.....I've sold most of the diapers that I idn't love but I still have a ginormous stash because there is so much that I love! I guess I am always in search of a better, trimmer, more absorbent fit! LOL

I started out getting some AIO's when I was pregnant. Then, right before DS was born I bought GMD orange edge prefolds so I'd have cloth until he fit into the AIO's... well, I found I really liked them. Then, my mom volunteered to make me some fitteds. Then, I decided to get hubby some pockets FFS. And lastly, decided to try some flats. So I've got a bit of everything too!

It's kind of funny.. because I kind of know DS's pooping schedule. So when I know he is going to poop, I put the flats on him because they are the easiest to clean. I have some pockets with a dark inner. Those will also go on for poops. But all my white prefolds and pretty white microfleece inner pockets I ONLY put on if I think he wont poop in them. LOL! I think I worry a bit too much about resale value.

I started out with BGOS organics then sold them all since I thought they were irritiating DD. Switched to all fitteds with some prefolds and flats mixed in.....now selling it all

I think......no I really am selling it all for BGOS organics again! I always teeter on keeping just a few fitteds but I need the $$ to buy the BG's and I am trying to remember when I started this whole thing what my goals were. To save some $$ and having stashes of two different types of diapers isn't helping.

I, my DH and daycare love the ease of the AIO's.
Oh and I'm sticking to it!!! I think.....

I recently sold off literally ALL our pockets, AIOs and AI2s......and bought a whole new stash of BG Organics snaps. Now we exclusively do BG Organics for daycare and longer outings...and wool + fitteds for the rest of the time.

It was a truly cathartic experience, and made our diaper drawer look prettier and less messy.
